BUSINESS BY KIDS COURSE
Ten founder missions
Build your idea one decision at a time: notice a need, choose an offer, test it, plan the money, and explain it clearly.
YOUR ONE PAGE BUSINESS PLAN
The Business by Kids Map
A business plan is not a test. It is a simple map that helps you explain your idea, take the next step, and improve it after feedback.
The problem
What is difficult, missing, wasteful, or less fun for people today?
My customer
Who will use it, choose it, or enjoy it? What matters to that person?
My offer
Write one clear sentence: “I will offer… so that…”
What I need
List materials, a place to work, time, and people who can help safely.
Costs and price
What does one item cost to make? What is a fair price? What is left after costs?
Tell the story
Use a sign, a short pitch, a sample, or a demonstration to help people understand.
My goal
Choose a meaningful target: customers helped, items sold, money raised, or a skill learned.
Test and improve
Ask what worked, what confused people, and what you will change next time.
Start with a need, not a logo.Useful ideas make life easier, happier, safer, or more interesting for someone.
Test before you grow.Show a simple version to a few people and listen carefully to their reactions.
Mistakes are useful information.Change the price, explanation, or design, then try again.
